In this instance, you would need to request the non-identifying information from the sealed adoption file. You may also want to consider a search for birth family member(s) if the adoptee is at least 18 years old. Adoption records are not updated, so if you find that the information from the non-identifying summary is insufficient or nonexistent, you can ask the birth family member directly for this information.
What if I would like to know my (or my adopted child’s) birth family medical history?
